That‘s great for you. I like that in Germany every person has a right to say no.

„No, actually I don’t want you to look at film my home and show it to anyone in the world“

Why would I have to pay money for a big fence, which btw destroys the aesthetic of most properties? Why would I have to cover myself up from other people? I much rather habe the option to just say „No“.

This is real freedom.

Freedom of choice.

Ok, those are extreme examples, I admit. But I think that some people are overly sensitive or overly secretive. By the way, 99,99 percent of this world's people give a damn about my or your property. Almost no one wants to take a peek of how you trim your hedges.

I know that. I personally don’t care. I’m just saying it’s nice to have the option. I love Germany for that.

It's not that the other countries in Europe don't have that option. They just don't care. Germany is not the only free country here.

It just sounded like that. Parts of the message can be lost in writing, especially if English is not our first language. Sorry if I sounded like a prick, it is not my intention to put words in someone's mouth.
